The example output above is a typical response for a 4x4 Video router. Current matrix routing is “straight
through”, 10 presets are defined (1st is straight through, 2nd is mapped all to source 1, and all other presets have
not been assigned (No Change). Note that future protocol versions may support more than 10 presets and
therefore may return information for more or less than 10 presets for the psetData and psetNames arrays.

MtxGroup Command
Routers only - Protocol Version: 2.4
Query or assign I/O grouping. This setting is saved and recalled on power up.
The I/O grouping feature is used to combine multiple inputs and outputs. Combined grouped inputs and outputs
then behave as if they were a single I/O, which changes the size of the router matrix accordingly (matrix size
divided by group count), and matrix routing changes update the grouped I/Os simultaneously. Group counts are
assigned on a per level basis, allowing for different I/O grouping for separate levels (for example separate video
and audio levels). Real world examples of I/O grouping include: dual channel 3D video and combining
multiple audio channels (4 AES digital audio streams for example).
Command
Description
MtxGroup
Query current I/O grouping.
MtxGroup LEVEL1
Set level 1 I/O grouping (0 or 1 disables grouping).
MtxGroup LEVEL1, LEVEL2
Set level 1 and level 2 I/O grouping (0 or 1 disables grouping).
Example querying and assigning I/O grouping
>MtxGroup
1,1
>MtxGroup 2,4
>MtxGroup
2,4
>
The first example MtxGroup command shows that I/O grouping is disabled on both levels of a 2 level system. The second
command configures the system for dual I/O grouping on level 1 and quad I/O grouping on level 2. On an example 16x16 two
level router this would result in an 8x8 matrix on level 1 and a 4x4 matrix on level 2.
3.10.19
NetMask Command
NOTE:
Superseded by the
net.netmask
System Parameter.
Query or assign the system network mask value. This value is related to the IP address of the system and is
used for IP communications over the Ethernet network. This setting is saved and recalled on power up.
WARNING:
Maintaining the ability to access a device's web page and for Remote Panel devices to be able to
communicate with Routers requires that the IP address is known, valid and systems are configured to be on the
same IP network. In the event that the IP address or Netmask of a system is unknown, consult the Unknown IP
